Just a question as I was never able to attain a copy of the P&H Book, so the Inflator was his original concept name? For some reason I was always thinking and maybe feeling the Blow Hard would've been.

Amazing guys! The dog should be called "Newfoundlandor"... those images have a sailor in a slicker and what is called an "Ugly Stick" which is a musical instrument from Newfoundland Canada made of beer caps and old cans.) Great work!

Unfortunately, we don't own the book either (we'd love to!), we just have the scanned pages of these characters.
Next to the "Inflator" figure it says that was his original concept name, and they suggested Blow Hard would have been a better name.
Hope that clarifies

Thank you!! Schizo was very fun to do! So was the Witch

Wow wow wow! They are perfect, the Blob looks like he stepped right off of the page. I'm really liking the Inflator too, that concept has always stood out to me to be something that would be really cool to have as a kid. Also liked how you used the thunder punch buck for the mummy, it really fits and makes him more bulky and shambling like. Seriously awesome stuff there!!!

As a lover of all vintage customs, I just have to say that Toyboys Inc. have surpassed themselves. These are all SO wonderful!
Never thought I'd see an Inflator custom. Just LOVE that Witch! And The Blob... he looks like he popped right out of the book. Brilliant!

The only thing I'm not really 'sold' on is the He-Man head on Two-Bad/Schizo. But that's just nitpiking. These are absolutely stunning.

These look great!
The Witch is my favorite of these bunch if I had to pick one. Also liking the Blob, did you use a Leech figure for him as a base? Leech is one of those figures I get to much of in my fodder box when buying lots and I'm always on the look out for custom figures to use him in. I'm working on a custom using Leech for weeks now, eats up tons of greenstuff to make him into the thing I want (and looking at the Blob, looks like he has eaten a lot of sculpy of yours to). But as he is a bit taler then the average fig. it breaks down the overall hight in the collection verry nice!

To be honest, Inflator is the figure we are less appealed by from the bunch, but that's just us. We are very surprised so much people like him
Thanks again for your words, they mean a lot coming from a customizer like you

I understand what you say about Schizo, but we think of the "good" side as a version of Prince Adam, hence the choice of a He-Man face

We didnt use Leech for the Blob, but just because we didnt have a spare figure of him to do so. We used a McDonald's Shrek figure, with lots of cuttings and LOTS of sculpy. We used him as he was practically the same height as MOTU and was bulky enough
We'd love to see your Leech-based custom!

Very cool! Seeing some of those concept artwork has made me want to try to make my own versions of some of these guys. If they turn out half as good as yours did I'll be pleased. Very nice work!

Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!
